Chapter 295: No Reason Found

Translator: 549690339

Purple Summers slept for about an hour.

When she woke up, she was lying on the sofa, covered with Alexander Summers’ coat, which carried his fresh fragrance.

The ceiling light in the room had been turned off, as Alexander didn’t want to disturb her rest, so only a desk lamp was on.

Purple sat up, and the coat covering her slid off and fell onto the black velvet carpet next to the sofa. She stared blankly at the coat and slowly recalled the argument she had with Alexander before falling asleep.

“What would you like to eat?” From across the room at his desk, Alexander looked up and asked, “After dinner, I’ll take you home.”

Purple was silent for a moment and then said, “Beef noodles.”

Alexander picked up his phone to make a call: “Send a bowl of beef noodles over, not spicy, and add a portion of cold tofu silk. If you have marinated quail eggs, send a small plate as well.”

He knew her preferences to the smallest detail.

Purple should have been touched, but at this moment, she only felt a sourness in her heart. She couldn’t help but retort, “Asking Walker’s star chef to make beef noodles and tofu silk? Isn’t that a bit of a waste of talent?”

Alexander hadn’t hung up the phone yet. His eyes, as deep and dark as a starry sea, remained fixed on Purple. He continued to instruct the person on the other end of the line, “There’s a beef noodle shop on Haylight Street, next to the police station. You can go there to buy it and bring it over.”

Purple feeling a prick at her nose suddenly lowered her head, feeling like crying again.

She glanced down and saw the bracelet on her wrist, encrusted with red and blue gems, looking extraordinarily luxurious and exquisite.

The dazzling light reflected by the gems made Purple momentarily lost in thought.

“This is a gift I brought back from abroad,” Alexander said, pausing for a moment and continuing, “There’s no chip inside.”

Purple bit her lip, “I don’t want it, the school doesn’t allow students to wear such messy accessories.”

“Then put it away and wear it during vacations,” Alexander suggested.

Purple didn’t speak but fetched her bag from the coffee table, opened it, and saw all the items Alexander had given her inside it.

“…” After a moment of silence, she put the gem bracelet that Alexander had given her into the bag as well.

Before long, the beef noodles were delivered, still slightly warm, and placed in front of Purple.

Purple silently ate the beef noodles.

She thought about many things.

What she pondered the most was whether or not she should accept Alexander? Should she accept this relationship?

The answer was still no.

Alexander was her brother in name, and moreover, he had a fiancee. Purple really couldn’t find a reason to accept him.

Even though his relationship with his fiancee was only in appearance, a marriage contract wasn’t a joke. As long as the marriage contract wasn’t annulled, her sense of shame and embarrassment would remain forever!

Alexander said that when everything settled down, he would annul the marriage contract. But when would that happen? How long would it take for him to secure his position as the head of the Howard Family?

Would he be able to maintain that position for the rest of his life?

Except for the old master of the Howard Family, none of the previous family heads had died a natural death!

All of them had met their untimely deaths.

If Alexander couldn’t secure that position for his entire life, would she have to be his secret lover forever?

…Come to think of it, there seemed to be quite a few women in the lives of each Howard Family head.

The most notorious of these had more than twenty concubines.

The last family head, Elder Master Howard, who was now in his nineties, also had eight wives.

The four prominent families had long histories and were established for centuries. Marriage certificates only came into existence after the introduction of the Marriage Law, which only had a history of fifty or sixty years, so it was insignificant in the eyes of these ancient families.

Compared to legally recognized marriages, they cared more about gaining their family’s approval. So even without marriage certificates, the women of Elder Master Howard had the same status as his main wife.

So, would she eventually become one of the many women in the family head’s life?
